Warriors' Kevin Knox: Shooting woes in Summer League win
Rotowire
Knox produced seven points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-4 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal across 19 minutes in Sunday's 92-68 win over the Lakers in the California Classic Summer League.
Knox was previously thought to be out for the Summer League due to a strained calf. However, he returned for the Warriors' second game of the California Classic and was inefficient from the field off the bench. The 24-year-old averaged 7.2 points and 2.4 rebounds across 18.1 minutes in 31 games with Detroit before getting traded to, and eventually cut by, the Jazz.

Knox is part of the Warriors' Summer League roster.
Knox started the 2023-24 campaign with Detroit but was traded to the Jazz in February and released shortly after, ending up with the Rip City Remix of the G League. The 2018 lottery pick will get a chance to prove he's worthy of a roster spot with Golden State this Summer.

Jazz's Kevin Knox: Traded to Utah
Rotowire
The Jazz acquired Knox, a 2024 second-round draft pick and the rights to Gabriele Procida from the Pistons on Wednesday in exchange for Simone Fontecchio, James Edwards of The Athletic reports.
Knox had a little bit of success in Detroit with averages of 7.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 18.1 minutes over 31 appearances, but he failed to score in his last two outings. In Utah, Knox figures to fight for minutes at the end of the rotation behind Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji.

Pistons' Kevin Knox: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Knox is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Knox joins the first unit due to Isaiah Stewart being sidelined due to an ankle injury. Detroit is opting for an offense-centric lineup, as he's flanked by Bojan Bogdanovic and Marvin Bagley in the frontcourt.

Pistons' Kevin Knox: Back to bench
Rotowire
Knox won't start Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
Knox drew back-to-back starts with Bojan Bogdanovic sidelined, but the latter has been cleared to suit up, sending the former to the bench again. Over his last 12 appearances (five starts), Knox has averaged 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 23.0 minutes per game.

Pistons' Kevin Knox: Leads team with 19 points
Rotowire
Knox racked up 19 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 112-110 loss to the Rockets.
Moving back into the starting lineup with Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) sidelined, Knox tied Alec Burks for the team lead in scoring. The 2018 lottery pick is on his fourth team in six seasons, but Knox is filling a hole in the Pistons' rotation well enough at the moment, averaging 11.3 points, 2.6 boards and 1.5 threes in 22.1 minutes per contest over the last 11 games.

Knox will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against Houston, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.

Pistons' Kevin Knox: Outstanding from bench
Rotowire
Knox accumulated 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's 113-109 loss to Golden State.
Detroit's rash of injuries has revived Knox's career a bit, although his stat lines are far from dependable. Detroit is Knox's sixth team in six years, and despite the state of Detroit's roster, he'll continue to be used as part of the second and third unit. Knox will have other opportunities to produce in the short term, but his fantasy value is limited.

Pistons' Kevin Knox: Rejoins reserves
Rotowire
Knox will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Utah.
Knox started three straight games for Detroit and averaged 11.3 points and 2.3 rebounds across 24.1 minutes. However, he'll be replaced by Isaiah Livers for Wednesday's tilt.
Isaiah Stewart is sitting out with a toe issue, but he's believed to be day-to-day. Knox already has two starts to his name this season, but he struggled in those with 8.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 three-pointers on 33.3 percent shooting from the field.

Pistons' Kevin Knox: Gets buckets
Rotowire
Knox chipped in 14 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across 24 minutes during Saturday's 126-115 loss to the Nets.
Knox stepped in and knocked down his shots coming off two consecutive DNP-CDs. The 24-year-old can't be relied on as anything more than a sporadic scoring sparkplug, but perhaps his workload will grow moving forward with Detroit reeling.

Pistons' Kevin Knox: Back to bench

Knox won't start Monday's game against the Nuggets.
After a couple of standout games, Knox was rewarded with back-to-back starts. However, he failed to impress, and the Pistons' small-ball lineup didn't work out. Marvin Bagley is back with the first unit, but as long as Jalen Duren (ankle) is sidelined, Knox should carve out a sizable rotational role. Over his first four appearances of the season, Knox has averaged 11.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 27.5 minutes per game.

Pistons' Kevin Knox: Double-double in Friday's start
Rotowire
Knox supplied 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 108-100 loss to Cleveland.
With Jalen Duren (ankle) sidelined for a third straight game, Knox slid into the starting five for the Pistons and produced his first double-double in three games since rejoining the club last week. The 24-year-old forward has never lived up to his draft pedigree after being a lottery pick in 2018, but Knox is seeing big minutes right now in an injury-wracked Detroit frontcourt and has some short-term fantasy value.
